Still Moves Short Film (10 min, 2018)
Synopsis:
Edison Jones, a small town street performer and visual artist, meanders through life while trying to build The Experimental Institute of Eastern Californiart. Through the lens of a documentarian, we see Edison in his hometown of Nevada City, California and later on a reflective road trip to Reno, Nevada.
Backstory:
Still Moves is a docufiction film (90% fiction/10% real). The project was filmed over the course of 5 days in Oakland, Nevada City, and Reno during March 2018. Myself (writer/director/music) and Drew Connick (actor) were the only members of a bare bones cast and crew. We met while working as production assistants at Sundance Film Festival and still hardly know each other. The total budget for the film was $1.5k, a third of which was won back while gambling in Reno on the last night of production.
Still Moves will be made available online after screening at festivals in 2018.
